Quick Wanderlust 2016 Share

Here is a page I just finished in my art journal for my Wanderlust class. I used a Tim Holtz "found relative" for my photo and collaged a background for it. This was my first try with the PaperArtsy Fresco paints, and I must say, I do like them!

I chose this photo because it made me think of the many classes of students I have taught over the years. They have grown up now and are out there and inspiring others!

Maura...this page is AWESOME! I haven't had a chance to watch the video yet and now I HAVE to make the time!!! I totally LOVE what you've done here! Love all of the colors, the patterns and the more "artsy" style mixed with the more traditional vintage photograph. LOVE it!

I love your page, and I recognize not only the PA paints but also the first special stamps plate created by PA for Wanderlust in your background! Great use of it! I have to follow this prompt too, not done yet, but I really want to have on try on this one. Thanks! Hugs, Coco

Hi Maura. Thanks for the nice comment about the spring cleaning pages. I took that prompt literally. haha I just had to come back for another look at this page you did using Kasia's idea of mixing old photographs in with mixed media. I love doing that but I think your page is just awesome. I love the photograph first of all. Then the colors you've used with it...I think they are spot on. I also love the ghost like hearts and the scribbles. That sentiment is also just perfect for the picture of the children. Hopefully they did grow up to inspire! :)
